Nick's POV
I wake up to see that it is 7 am. I look to the side to see Finnick again, looking out the window. I snap my fingers a few times to get his attention and he looks over at me. I see relief fill his eyes once again, like a few hours ago when I first woke up.
"That bunny cop will be here in a few minutes. No one told her that you woke up. They wanted to see how she'd react if she found out herself", He told me. I nodded my head.
"The chief said he was gonna give ya the week off to recover, so if you ever need help with anything, you just call", He continued with a light smile on his face. A smile that was not often seen from him. It was not mischievious or evil or anything like that. It was one of pure affection. That showed that even though our job choices made it kinda hard to be friends, we always will have each others backs.
"I'll remember that", I responded, giving him a smile of my own. We then heard soft footsteps coming toward the door and knock. Finnick looked at me with mischief in his eyes and I understood his plan immediately. I reached over to the night stand and reached into my uniform's pant's pocket and grabbed the carrot pen I still had before I laid back down, hiding the pen under my wrist and with my other paw and closed my eyes, trying to even out my breathing as well. I heard him open the door.
"Morning Finnick", I heard Carrots say. I had to fight the urge to smile at hearing her voice. I feel like I haven't seen her in forever. Though that's probably because I really haven't seen her in about a week.
"Hey bunny cop" I heard Finnick reply.
"How's Nick?"
"He's not doing much better. The doctors aren't sure when he's gonna start making anymore progress." I almost opened my eyes to see the expression on Judy's face. It must be priceless.
"Thank for looking after him. I'll see you tonight", She said and I heard Finnick leave the room. A few seconds later, I feel Judy grab my hand and stroking the back of it with her thumbs.
"Nick, I know you can't hear me, but I'm going to talk anyway. I know you're fighting and I know you're trying to come back and I know you're probably exhausted, but you have to keep trying. Everybody's really worried. Life just isn't the same without you. I haven't been at the station for a few days, but from what I hear, it's pretty quiet without you around. I can relate. My whole life has been quiet too. Without you around, there's no real excitement", She said.
I could tell when she next spoke that she was on the verge of tears because her voice cracked and she was barely talking above a whisper.
"And...I'd like to think that you'd wake up soon because I've realized a few things. Before this happened, I had complicated emotions for you and I felt like maybe I had crush on you, but I thought I'd get over it. But then you were hit with that dart and you almost died, and we don't know if you're going to die now even...in the end, the choice really is yours if you want to go or stay." She beginning to sob at this point.
"And if you decide that you don't have the strength to come back to us, that'll be fine because it's your decision a-and if you decide to leave, I just want you to know that you were always right", She paused as I pressed record, having a feeling I was about to get some good blackmail information, before she continued again. "I really do love you." She broke down sobbing at that point. My eyes shot open in shock, but thankfully, Judy wasn't looking at me. Her eyes her fixed on the floor as tears fell from her eyes.
I couldn't believe it. All this time-all this time she loved me back?! I can't believe it! Why did it take me so long to realize that I liked her?! Why am I such a dumb fox?!
...Looks like I better make it up for the both of us.
I close my eyes again and playback the recording.
"I really do love you."
I hear Judy gasp.
"I really do love you."
I open my eyes and show her the pen.
"I love you too Carrots."
Her eyes are wide as dinner plates as she looks at me with her paws over her mouth.
"Nick!" She yells before latching her arms around my neck. I return the favor and wrap my arms around her torso as she sobs into my shoulder.
"N-Nick, I-I thought that y-you weren't gonna m-make it!" She sobbed loudly. I patted her back a bit.
"Deep breaths, Carrots, deep breaths. I'm okay now. I promise", I assure her. She takes a few more minutes to cry before pulling back and looking me in the eye.
"I was so scared. I thought I'd never get to tell you how I felt. I thought you were going to die before I could tell you", She admitted.
"I understand. It was pretty much the same situation on my end of the stick", I say as she smiles and kisses my cheek. We then sit in silence for about a minute before I speak again.
"Hey Judy, whenever I get out of this hospital and can drive a car again and everything, you wanna go out sometime?" I ask her. Her smile widens, if that's even possible, and nods her head.
"Of course Nick. I'd love to", She responds before kissing my cheek again. I smiled. My crush on her sure was wild, but now that small dream of mine has finally come true. And I couldn't wait to see what what happen next.
